> Luca shared an interesting fact, so I tried to find more information. He probably meant UCSD Pascal, as I see this is a very interesting system, mentioned also in the lazarus wiki ( http://wiki.freepascal.org/UCSD_Pascal ). I downloaded the sources of the system,  but I could not find the examples of similar syntax inside many with statements... Maybe there are other sources.

No, I meant TI Pascal.
Since this is very old stuff, I didn't think I could find anything about it,
but here is the manual (I'm not sure is the same version I used but it seems
pretty close):

(warning: 34MB file)

On page 62 there's the definition of the with statement and it uses "="

<with statement> ::= WITH <with variable list> DO <statement>
<with variable list> ::= <with variable> {, <with variable>}
<with variable> ::= <record variable> | <identifier> = <record variable>
